10. Hartlepool United 3-0 Imps 82/83
The first game on our list was literally described as a shambles back in November 1982. City led the Third Division, and were just weeks away from putting nine past Bournemouth. This was classic Murphy, the era just before financial wrangles derailed our surge towards the Second Division.
Ten-man City slipped to a miserable 3-0 defeat against the Fourth Division side, days before taking West Ham to extra time in the League Cup.
